"In 2009, the year Bitcoin was created, nobody could have thought it would gain such popularity. The initial price was about $0.001. Over the next five years there were no significant events, so the price rose slowly with little fluctuations. In 2013, Bitcoin attracted a lot of attention because of the Cyprus banking crisis. In November 2013, the Chinese started to buy BTC in large quantities and the price increased by 1000 percent. However, it didn’t last long. In February 2014, there was a DDoS attack on the servers of the exchange Mt. Gox. At that time, it controlled about 60 percent of Bitcoin transactions. This occasion struck Bitcoin hard and the price fell by 40 percent."
